unset cookie value if set(name, val) is called with val = Null #736

There should be a way to unset single cookie values.

I think it should be ok to unset a cookie value if the set method is called with a Null value.

This would save some bandwidth on multipage-installs with the next version of the BlockingCookie plugin.

Attachment: patch to remove a single value from a cookie
unset_cookie_value.patch

Set the cookie expiry in the past. The browser, however, may not delete it until it exits.

In any case, we plan to implement first party cookies.

single values, I don't want to delete the whole cookie.

I want to delete a specific value from a cookie, only one without affecting others.

black silence, please submit a patch and we'll consider...

here you go. this patch will unset a cookie value if the set() method is called with a Null value

looks good to me

(In [1238]) fixes #736 - feature request to unset cookie value via set(name, null)
